3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to 

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low-income populations, in the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. To help 

address potential environmental justice 

issues, the Agency seeks information on 

any groups or segments of the 

population who, as a result of their 

location, cultural practices, or other 

factors, may have atypical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPA is announcing its receipt of 

several pesticide petitions filed under 

section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 

346a, proposing the establishment or 

modification of regulations in 40 CFR 

part 174 or part 180 for residues of 

pesticide chemicals in or on various 

food commodities. EPA has determined 

that the pesticide petitions described in 

this notice contain the data or 

information prescribed in FFDCA 

section 408(d)(2); however, EPA has not 

fully evaluated the sufficiency of the 

submitted data at this time or whether 

the data support granting of the 

pesticide petitions. Additional data may 

be needed before EPA can make a final 

determination on these pesticide 

petitions. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of each of the petitions that 

are the subject of this notice, prepared 

by the petitioner, is included in a docket 

EPA has created for each rulemaking. 

The docket for each of the petitions is 

available on-line at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

As specified in FFDCA section 

408(d)(3), (21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3)), EPA is 

publishing notice of the petition so that 

the public has an opportunity to 

comment on this request for the 

establishment or modification of 

regulations for residues of pesticides in 

or on food commodities. Further 

information on the petition may be 

obtained through the petition summary 

referenced in this unit. 

New Tolerance Exemption 

1. PP 9E7557. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2009– 

0479). Rhodia, Inc., 8 Cedar Brook Dr., 

Cranbury, NJ 08512, proposes to 

establish an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of alkyl (C12-C16) dimethyl ammonio 

acetate (ADAA) when used as a 

pesticide inert ingredient in pesticide 

formulations applied to growing crops 

and when applied to animals, under 40 

CFR 180.920 and 180.930, with a limit 

of up to 20 percent of pesticide 

formulations. This tolerance expression 

includes: alkyl (C12) dimethyl ammonio 

acetate (C12-ADAA), CAS No. 683–10–3; 

alkyl (C14) dimethyl ammonio acetate 

(C14-ADAA), CAS No. 2601–33–4; and 

alkyl (C16) dimethyl ammonio acetate 

(C16-ADAA), CAS No. 693–33–4. The 

petitioner believes no analytical method 

is needed because this petition is a 

request for an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance. Contact: 

Elizabeth Fertich, (703) 347–8560; 

fertich.elizabeth@epa.gov. 

2. PP 9E7562. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2008– 

0822). Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry, 

LLC, 525 West Van Buren St., Chicago,

exemption from the requirement of 

tolerances in 40 CFR 180.910 for 

residues of mono-, di-, and 

trimethylnapthalenesulfonic acids and 

napthalenesulfonic acids formaldehyde 

condensates, ammonium and sodium 

salts when used as a pesticide inert 

ingredient in pesticide formulations in 

or on all raw agricultural commodities. 

The petitioner believes no analytical 

method is needed because this petition 

is a request for an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance. Contact:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this Action Apply to Me? 

This action is directed to the general 

public to provide an opportunity for 

review and comment on proposed 

AEGLs and their Technical Support 

Documents. This action may be of 

particular interest to anyone who may 

be affected if the AEGLs are adopted by 

government agencies for emergency 

planning, prevention, or response 

programs, such as EPAs Risk 

Management Program under the Clean 

Air Act and Amendments Section 112r. 

It is possible that other Federal agencies 

besides EPA, as well as State and local 

agencies and private organizations, may 

adopt the AEGLs for their programs. As 

such, the Agency has not attempted to 

describe all the specific entities that 

may be affected by this action. If you 

have any questions regarding the 

applicability of this action to a 

particular entity, consult the DFO listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. 

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare 

My Comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD-ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, 

mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM 

as CBI and then identify electronically 

within the disk or CD-ROM the specific 

information that is claimed as CBI. In 

addition to one complete version of the 

comment that includes information 

claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment 

that does not contain the information 

claimed as CBI must be submitted for 

inclusion in the public docket. 

Information so marked will not be 

disclosed except in accordance with 

procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

i. Identify the document by docket ID 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

ii. Follow directions. The Agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

iv. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

v. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

vi. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

viii. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

II. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPAs Office of Prevention, Pesticides 

and Toxic Substances (OPPTS) provided 

notice on October 31, 1995 (60 FR 

55376) (FRL–4987–3) of the 

establishment of the NAC/AEGL 

Committee with the stated charter 

objective as ‘‘the efficient and effective 

development of AEGLs and the 

preparation of supplementary 

qualitative information on the 

hazardous substances for Federal, State, 

and Local agencies and organizations in 

the private sector concerned with 

[chemical] emergency planning, 

prevention, and response.’’ The NAC/ 

AEGL Committee is a discretionary 

Federal advisory committee formed 

with the intent to develop AEGLs for 

hazardous substances through the 

combined efforts of stakeholder 

members from both the public and 

private sectors in a cost-effective 

approach that avoids duplication of 

efforts and provides uniform values, 

while employing the most scientifically 

sound methods available. 

This action provides notice of 

availability for public review and 

comment, of proposed AEGLs and 

underlying supporting documents for 19 

hazardous substances. These AEGLs 

represent the 12th set of exposure levels 

proposed and published by the NAC/ 

AEGL Committee. These 12 sets of 

AEGLs cover 259 hazardous substances. 

Background information on the AEGL 

Program may be found in these earlier 

Federal Register notices, in the 

regulations.gov, or on the AEGL 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
41898 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 159 / Wednesday, August 19, 2009 / Notices 

webpage (http://www.epa.gov/oppt/ 

aegl). 

Following public review and 

comment, the NAC/AEGL Committee 

will reconvene to consider relevant 

comments, data, and information that 

may have an impact on the NAC/AEGL 

Committees position and will again seek 

consensus for the establishment of 

Interim AEGLs. Although the Interim 

AEGLs will be available to Federal, 

State and local agencies and to 

organizations in the private sector as 

biological reference values, it is 

intended to have them reviewed by a 

subcommittee of the National 

Academies (NAS). The NAS 

subcommittee will serve as a peer 

review of the Interim AEGLs and as the 

final arbiter in the resolution of issues 

regarding the AEGLs, and the data and 

basic methodology used for setting 

AEGLs. Following concurrence, Final 

AEGLs will be published under the 

auspices of the NAS. 

III. List of Hazardous Substances 

On behalf of the NAC/AEGL 

Committee, EPA is providing an 

opportunity for public comment on the 

proposed AEGLs for the 19 hazardous 

substances identified in the table in this 

unit. Technical Support Documents are 

available in the docket for this notice.
